Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm mục đích xác định các nhân tố ảnh hưởng đến hiệu suất logistics trong nước của một công ty khai thác chế biến khoáng sản. Số liệu được thu thập từ 200 nhân viên trong Công ty Cổ phần Vật liệu Công nghệ cao Masan – một công ty khai thác chế biến khoáng sản lớn tại tỉnh Thái Nguyên. Các phương pháp phân tích chính được sử dụng là phân tích nhân tố khám phá (EFA), phân tích nhân tố khẳng định (CFA) và mô hình cấu trúc tuyến tính (SEM). Kết quả nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng có 2 yếu tố tác động đến hiệu suất logistics trong nước là yếu tố vận chuyển trong nước và năng lực của nhân viên. Trong đó, yếu tố vận chuyển trong nước có ảnh hưởng mạnh mẽ nhất đến hiệu suất của logistics trong nước. Dựa trên kết quả nghiên cứu, một số khuyến nghị tập trung vào yếu tố vận chuyển trong nước và năng lực của nhân viên được đề xuất nhằm góp phần giúp các doanh nghiệp khai thác và chế biến khoáng sản cải thiện được hiệu suất logistics trong nước, để từ đó nâng cao hiệu quả, lợi thế cạnh tranh trên thị trường.

Abstract The company’s strategy that focuses on the growth of the company represented by the economic value added (EVA) requires the identification of factors affecting the size of the EVA. For this purpose, in the paper the formula for EVA was transformed in such a way as to reveal the determinants affecting its value. Three levels of disaggregation of EVA were assumed. At the first level EVA depends on the amount of invested capital (IC) and economic spread (EC). At the second level economic spread is expressed using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the return on invested capital (ROIC). The third level takes into account the capital structure (wi), the cost of capital (ki), the profit margin (NOPAT/S) and invested capital turnover ratio (S/IC). Such disaggregation can be continued on the next levels of detail. Using the method of successive substitutions an analysis of the cause and effect of the mining company, was conducted. In this way, we can indicate which factors and to what extent affected negatively and positively the change of EVA in the analysed year compared to the previous year. Such analysis allows decision makers to determine a strategy directed to the increase of the mining company’s value.

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Processing polymers from the liquid crystalline state offers several advantages compared to processing from conventional fluids. These include: better axial strength and stiffness in fibers, better planar orientation in films, lower viscosity during processing, low solidification shrinkage of injection moldings (thermotropic processing), and low thermal expansion coefficients. However, the compressive strength of the solid is disappointing. Previous efforts to improve this property have focussed on synthesizing stiffer molecules. The effect of microstructural scale has been overlooked, even though its relevance to the mechanical and physical properties of more traditional materials is well established. By analogy with the behavior of metals and ceramics, one would expect a fine microstructure (i..e. a high density of orientational defects) to be desirable.Also, because much microstructural detail in liquid crystalline polymers occurs on a scale close to the wavelength of light, light is scattered on passing through these materials.

A statistical review provides analysis of four years of speech therapy services of a suburban school system which can be used for comparison with other school system programs. Included are data on the percentages of the school population enrolled in therapy, the categories of disabilities and the number of children in each category, the sex and grade-level distribution of those in therapy, and shifts in case-load selection. Factors affecting changes in case-load profiles are identified and discussed.

Purpose Previous studies showed early production precedes late perception in Cantonese tone acquisition, contrary to the general principle that perception precedes production in child language. How tone production and perception are linked in 1st language acquisition remains largely unknown. Our study revisited the acquisition of tone in Cantonese-speaking children, exploring the possible link between production and perception in 1st language acquisition. Method One hundred eleven Cantonese-speaking children aged between 2;0 and 6;0 (years;months) and 10 adolescent reference speakers participated in tone production and perception experiments. Production materials with 30 monosyllabic words were transcribed in filtered and unfiltered conditions by 2 native judges. Perception accuracy was based on a 2-alternative forced-choice task with pictures covering all possible tone pair contrasts. Results Children's accuracy of production and perception of all the 6 Cantonese tones was still not adultlike by age 6;0. Both production and perception accuracies matured with age. A weak positive link was found between the 2 accuracies. Mother's native language contributed to children's production accuracy. Conclusions Our findings show that production and perception abilities are associated in tone acquisition. Further study is needed to explore factors affecting production accuracy in children.
